Billboard Java Applet   Commerical Version 1.0


Information :

Billboard is a billboard effect Java applet.

URL: http://japplets.tripod.com/billboard.html

Author: Gokhan Dagli

Mail : quickshare@excite.com

Class File : billboard.class

This effect contains the code by Gokhan Dagli, used under a licence. Before using this applet you must read the license agreement.

Cost: 19USD   You can buy it when finished testing. Buy it once, use same regcode for new versions! You have to pay small amount of money and receive your registration codes (regcodes). You can buy the registration code using a credit card through Regnow secure servers.

You can use the applet freely to enhance your web pages (commerical or non-commerical). However, I placed a warning string that will appear when the applet is online on a site and regcode parameter isn't correct.

Sample :




Include the applet in an HTML page with code similar to the following:

<applet code="billboard.class" width=234 height=60>
<param name=info value="Applet by Gokhan Dagli,japplets.tripod.com">

Code explanations :

The following instructions describe the meaning of the available parameters for this applet:


<applet code="billboard.class" width=140 height=140>

The applet tag identifies the location, class file name, and size of a Java applet. The first part of the tag code=billboard.class identifies the name of the Java applet. The second and third part of the applet tag identifies the width and height of the applet (usually measured in screen pixels).

<PARAM NAME=regcode VALUE="">

Registration code (if you have it). In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased from us. You have to pay small amount of money and receive your registration code (regcode).

</applet>

Getting Started

  • Place the class file (billboard.class) and images in the directory containing the HTML document into which you want to insert the applet (or into a different directory, and add the correct CODEBASE= attribute).
  • Add the applet tag to your HTML document in the position you want billboard to appear.
  • The info parameter must be included for the applet to run. It is case sensitive, and the number of spaces between words must be identical (entirely single-spaced). If you try to run the applet and you see the message "info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter.

Linking to My Web Site

If you use unregistered version of this applet in your own website and you want to include a link to my homepage, you can use the images "sbn.gif" or "bbn.gif" and type this HTML code in your pages:


java applets

<a href="http://japplets.tripod.com/"><img src="sbn.gif" alt="java applets"></a>

java applets

<a href="http://japplets.tripod.com/"><img src="bbn.gif" alt="java applets"></a>

This is absolutely optional. I will be very happy if you do so.
Thanks.

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Please send me any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: quickshare@excite.com
  • Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the applet tag information used in the sample and modify it to fit your web page.
  • If you see a "class not found" message, this means what it says -- your browser can't find the .class files specified. This may mean a spelling or case mistake in the CODE= attribute, the wrong location in the CODEBASE= attribute, or that you've forgotten to copy the .class file (billboard.class) to the necessary directory.
  • Make sure that your <APPLET> tag, closing </APPLET> tag, and all <PARAM> tags have < and > brackets. Check that the value for every parameter is enclosed between " signs.
  • If you see a NullPointerException displayed in the browser status-bar, it's most likely to be caused by a mistake in an image-based parameter. Check that paths and names of images are correct.
  • If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
